3RD ROUND PREVIEW THE FA CUP e-on

Chelsea are without several key men for the visit of QPR. Striker Didier Drogba (knee) and goalkeeper Petr Cech (hip) are both rated doubtful, while Frank Lampard, Florent Malouda, Andriy Shevchenko and skipper John Terry are all sidelined due to injury.

Qpr are poised to give debuts to new signings Patrick Agyemang and Fitz Hall. Their recent capture from West Ham, Hogan Ephraim, could also feature along with on-loan Manchester United starlet Kieran Lee, but Rangers'on-loan Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne is ineligible for the game.

Chelsea have won the last two FA Cup Finals played at Wembley Stadium. QPR have not won at Chelsea since 1986
